Police on Monday released photos of a man who robbed a CVS Pharmacy in Andover last Saturday night. He also may have robbed three other pharmacies in the last month.

Holding a handgun, the man demanded the clerk give him Oxycontin pills and then fled with an undisclosed amount of the drug. No one was injured. The robbery at CVS, 3633 Bunker Lake Blvd. NW., is similar to other robberies in Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park and Fridley, said detective Larry Johnson with the Anoka County Sheriff's Office.

Store surveillance caught the suspect on camera as he was leaving the store. Investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the man. He is described as a white male in his late 20s. He is 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 8 with a stocky build, blond-red hair and a stubbly goatee. Anyone with information should call the Anoka County Sheriff's Office at 763-427-1212.
